Happie Hoffman — better known by her stage name, HAPPIE — breaks free from the ties that keep her down in "Hallelujah," one of the five songs featured on her debut solo EP, Heartbreak Season.

Formerly one half of the folk duo Eric & Happie, the singer went through a professional and romantic breakup to create her latest batch of music. Her new songs reflect the catharsis, loss and reinvention that have dominated this season of her life.

In this episode of Positive Vibes Only, HAPPIE explores the euphoric freedom of finding yourself again after losing a long-term love. Seated in a studio, flanked by two backing musicians and an oversized, bright red boa, HAPPIE delivers a jazzy performance of "Hallelujah," with lyrics that find the positive at the end of a personal crisis.

"Feelin' myself and I'm covered in gold/ Leavin' behind all the lies that you told," HAPPIE sings in the chorus. "Feel the adrenaline, losin' control/ Lookin' for something to keep me afloat."

In her new career as a solo artist, HAPPIE braids new stylistic elements with some of the musical identity that she first established during her time in a duo.

Over the course of her career, she has become a prominent musical figure in the Jewish community, serving as the cantorial soloist for Temple Israel in Memphis — one of the oldest and largest congregations of its kind in the U.S.

Eric & Happie toured the world with musical messages of peace and healing, making stops in places particularly meaningful to the Jewish community: Auschwitz, Russia, the UN and more.

Now, she's bringing some of those elements forward into her next musical chapter. "My Jewish music was vulnerable, and letting people know they are not alone," she explains in a statement. "In some ways, this new music is no different — it's about being open — but I am writing about my heart, so these songs are personal in a different way."

For burgeoning singer Otis Kemp, gospel music consists of two elements: praising God and radiating good vibes. "Sometimes people say I'm 'flashy,' but there's nothing wrong with showin' out for Jesus," he's said— and that's exactly the mindset he had with his latest release, "Daily Bread."

"I'm honoring you, Your Majesty and Mighty King/ Turn up my radio/ You're the reason why I sing/ Yeah, that's my song," he declares in the second verse.

In this episode of Positive Vibes Only, Kemp delivers a glowing performance of his moving single, "Daily Bread." He performs the track alongside a choir with interludes of hypnotic dance moves, only amplifying "Daily Bread's" uplifting energy.

"Daily Bread" was inspired by the Bible verse Matthew 6:9-13, and created to invoke gratitude and relief from the unavoidable obstacles of everyday life. The song even received a co-sign from 19-time GRAMMY-winning gospel legend Kirk Franklin, as "Daily Bread" was No. 1 on his SiriusXM channel's fan-favorite countdown for two consecutive weeks. And as of press time, the track is at No. 6 on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart.

It's always hard to watch someone you love go through a difficult time. But as Cochren & Co. remind in "Be There for You," words of support can be the best medicine.

"Days fade in and leave the same/ An endless battle, seems like nothing has changed/ I wish I could tell you when this season will end/ Better days are coming," they sing in the track's chorus.

In this episode of Positive Vibes Only, Cochren & Co. deliver a healing performance of "Be There for You." The collective's front man, Michael Cochren, performs the song alongside six other lively musicians, driving home the message of community and support.

"When we go off looking for things in the broken world, we will never find them," Cochren said to the Christian Beat

"Ultimately, we only find what we need when we return to our loving God."

5 Takeaways From Paul Simon's New Album 'Seven Psalms': A Plethora Of Spirituality, Humor & Devotion

Almost 50 years ago, Stevie Wonder graced the world with his critically acclaimed (and Album Of The Year-winning)  studio album, Songs in the Key of Life. Beyond notable singles "Isn't She Lovely" and "I Wish" lives "If It's Magic," a song about the unavoidable failure of unprotected love.

"If it's magic/ Then why can't it be everlasting?/ Like the sun that always shines/ Like the poet's endless rhymes/ Like the galaxies in time," Wonder questions in the track's opening verse. "It holds the key to every heart/ Throughout the universe/ It fills you up without a bite/ And quenches every thirst."

In this episode of Positive Vibes Only, American harpist Brandee Younger performs a soothing, instrumental cover of "If It's Magic." Younger plays the harp from a well-lit room covered in  plants, increasing the serene ambiance of the performance.

Last month, Younger released her latest album, Brand New Life. As one of the most prominent Black, female harpists, Younger created Brand New Life as one of her many efforts to highlight the musical contributions of Black women. In 2022, she became the first Black woman to be nominated for a GRAMMY Award in the Best Instrumental Composition category.
